Annotations and Dimensioning Flashcards

Annotative text in model space should display at 1/8" on paper in a viewport scaled 1/4"=1'-0". What is its approximate height in model space?

Answer: 6"

The scale factor for 1/4"=1'-0" is 48, and 1/8" x 48 = 6".

What is the effect of setting a text style's height to 0?

Answer: You are prompted for the text height each time you create text

A height of 0 means the style has no fixed height, so you specify it when creating text.

Which feature inserts text that updates automatically, such as the drawing file name or save date?

Answer: Field

Fields are updatable text that display data like file name, date, or object properties.

How does the TEXT command differ from MTEXT when you type several lines?

Answer: Each line created with TEXT is a separate object

TEXT creates single-line text where each line is an independent object, while MTEXT creates one paragraph object.

Which command aligns multiple single-line or multiline text objects along a chosen direction?

Answer: TEXTALIGN

TEXTALIGN lines up selected text objects to a base text object with optional spacing.

With ANNOALLVISIBLE set to 0, when does an annotative object appear in a layout viewport?

Answer: Only when the viewport scale matches one of the object's annotation scales

With ANNOALLVISIBLE=0, only annotative objects supporting the current scale are shown.

Which status bar toggle automatically adds the new annotation scale to all annotative objects when you change the annotation scale?

Answer: Add scales to annotative objects when the annotation scale changes

This toggle (ANNOAUTOSCALE) adds the new current scale to annotative objects automatically.
